Happy Valentine’s Day, you guys! I must admit I struggled a bit in trying to decide what to write for today’s post. I didn’t want it to be too mushy, you know? Love is showing up at some of the most unexpected places and I’m more determined than ever not to miss the moment…even when they seem really scary.
Well, Valentine’s Day is tomorrow and if you find yourself scrambling to come up with something at the last minute and you’re on a budget, I have an idea for you. Here’s a look at how you can create a time capsule of memorable moments and make a traveling journal too…
Happy Friday, you guys! How has your week been? Are you celebrating Valentine’s Day early this weekend or are you waiting until Tuesday the 14th? We’re currently out of town celebrating another milestone birthday. We’ll be traveling with 3 dogs which is always fun (wink, wink). Here are a few fun things I found around the web this week…
In early January, my bestie S babysat my little dogs so I could be out of town. My oldest dog struggles with canine dementia and can be a lot of extra work. Thankfully, S was up for the challenge so I wanted to make her something special as part of a thank you gift. This farmhouse inspired monogrammed tea towel can be made in an afternoon and can be customized for any occasion. Here’s a look at how you can Make a Monogrammed Tea Towel too…
Are you ready to rock February? I can hardly believe we’re into the second month of the year already. We have so many fun things to look forward to this weekend like the Super Bowl (bring on the nachos) and I have a sweet date with my baby sis on Saturday. I hope you guys have some fun things to look forward to as well. Here are a few scenes from the week and favorites from around the web…
In yesterday’s post, I shared 17 Ways to Celebrate Valentine’s Day with a list of easy and mostly budget friendly gifts to celebrate the day. One of the first ideas on the list was “Take a Trip.” If you live in Florida or plan to visit and haven’t had the chance to explore Mount Dora yet, I highly recommend it. While you’re there, you should also experience the massive outdoor sale at Renninger’s Extravaganza which happens only three times a year. Here are a few tips for shopping the Renninger’s Extravaganza…
Let me just start off by saying this is not the post I had originally intended to write. After sharing posts from my mom’s birthday brunch this week, I fully intended to share a magical birthday experience of my own. But this post isn’t about any of that at all. This post is about how love showed up and saved my milestone birthday…
All of the elements of the tablescape for the birthday brunch came together fairly easily but there was one small detail that gave us a little bit of trouble. We had to figure out how to delineate the glasses the kids were using from the glasses the adults would be using so there wouldn’t be any drink mix ups. We decided to make monogramed drink charms that took mere minutes to make. Here’s a look at how you can make your own DIY Drink Charms if you’re a busy girl too…
We recently celebrated a milestone birthday for my mom with a special brunch. I knew in advance we were going to have Belgian waffles with caramel sauce and I was this close to using one of the waffles as her birthday cake. But as the party drew near, I just couldn’t let her celebrate the day without a cake that was a little more substantial. I decided to create the easiest breakfast birthday cake ever and I’ll show you how to make one too…
My mom is truly one of the most giving people I know. She is kind, loving, supportive and encouraging and definitely deserves to be celebrated. We gave her a special birthday brunch earlier this month to honor this fabulous lady and her milestone day. Here’s a peek at all of the details and how you can create a special birthday brunch to celebrate your mom too…
When you walk through our front door the mantel is one of the first things you see in our open floor plan home. I quickly got to work trying to create an elegant winter mantel that would fit the style of the birthday brunch but that would also be so neutral it would last until spring. Here’s a look at how all of the details came together…
This week has been in busy but in the best possible way. We’re celebrating my Mom’s milestone birthday tomorrow with a big brunch at our house. I’ve been getting ready for the festivities all week so I’m excited to see how everything comes together. Here are a few things fun things from around the web this week…
